Last Post Placement

It hard to believe that my baby has been home 3 years already. We just finished our last post placement report. We brought him home at 13 months old and he just turned 4 last week. Hard to believe. I've included a couple of updated photos. The first is at a family wedding last month, his first real dress up party, and one from the 4th of July. Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks everyone for the reply's. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. It's been a really busy summer. I am more of a lurker these days but still love to see all the updates and new families going thru the process. Thanks again.

We are right behind you! In fact, I just finished typing up the answers for the social worker's questionnaire, to email to her tomorrow.

Isn't it amazing how the time has flown by, and our two little babies are actually little grown ups! Michael is so handsome. Too bad we don't live close to each other and could make some arrangements between our two... I'll have to show his pictures to my little princess and tell her about seeing each other in the Embassy.

Congratulations on completing the post adoption reports!

I remember when you just came home! Time has really zoomed by. He is such a handsome little boy now. I was just thinking the other day that the baby part is slowly passing by and being replaced by a handsome little boy. Our last post p report is on the 11th. Congrats!

Congratulations-We just completed our last post placement in June also-it was almost bittersweet.

Our little one is just over 4 and was 15 months when we brought her home. Time sure does fly doesn't it.
